INTEGRATED READ-ONLY MEMORY

摘要

In a semiconductor integrated-circuit read-only memory a number of conductors (162), either word conductors or bit conductors, are foreshortened where permitted by the information stored in the memory. The space made available by this foreshortening is used, for example, by connection leads (45) to conductor (15M+2) of the other set (bit conductors or word conductors). In this way connections to the bit conductors of a ROM can be mainly from the side instead of from the end, allowing space-saving improvements in integrated-circuit layout.
